Today is the tenth volume of the adventures of Ema, Norman and Ray in Japan. And it is also today that the team in charge of the production of the anime has chosen to reveal some additional information, including the characters of The Promised Neverland in pictures!
If in France, The Promised Neverland has just unveiled its second volume published by Kazé last June, Japan still has a good margin ahead of us. Because it is, today, August 3, 2018, the official release of the 10th volume of the adventures of the orphans of Grace Field House. In France, you will have to wait until August 22 to finally be able to hold in your hands the third volume of Yakusoku no Neverland.
Pre-published in the Weekly Shōnen Jump, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, the new chapters drawn by DEMIZU Posuka and scripted by SHIRAI Kaiu have been devoured every week by Japanese readers since September 2016. The manga even won this year's 63rd Best Shōnen Manga Award from publisher Shogakukan. No doubt that Kazé has drawn a big number and that this series may addict a lot of readers in France … Including us!

Synopsis volume 1 (Kazé)
Emma, Norman and Ray spend happy days at the Grace Field House orphanage. Surrounded by their little brothers and sisters, they flourish under the tender attention of "Mom", whom they consider their real mother. But everything changes the night they discover the abominable reality that hides behind the façade of their peaceful life! They must escape, it is a matter of life and death!
An adaptation that we hope is faithful to the atmosphere that reigns in the paper version! With the anime The Promised Neverland, the passage in 2019 will be shattering and tinged with dark mysteries… Without a doubt one of the strong and among the most anticipated anime of 2019!
